Family Aboard
Joining TC Grace for the opening leg of the expedition from Zadar to Italy are Luuk's twins, Grace and Timo. Already comfortable around the water, they'll experience life aboard during the first stage of the voyage before returning home as TC Grace continues west towards Gibraltar and eventually the UK.
